Hostal Sabina. Es un lugar para quedarte pocos días, cuenta con lo básico y necesario de un hostal, cama, ventilador, regadera con agua caliente y ambiente tranquilo. Es de lo más económico, por lo mismo se tiene lo que se paga y no hay problema con eso si tu visita no es para tener lujos y comodidades. La persona de recepción es la clave del lugar para hacerte sentir seguro, cómodo y atendido, para ella son las 5 estrellas, gracias.

Hostal sabina cuenta con sus requisitos, cuentan ciertos con higie, agua caliente, equipo de televisión e Internet. Y lo poco que falta ventilación en algunos cuartos que están más metidos. Y la persona encargada como recepcionista muy amable, tiene carácter para la atención de los clientes. Es todo lo que puedo comentar

Hostal Sabina is another of possibly hundreds of hostels cast about the city of Oaxaca. Hostels are everywhere and impossible to miss, even if in fact they mostly seem to occupy rooftops. These places often advertise what they offer, some, most, probably, offer pretty much just hot water and hammocks. The Hostal Sabina is in a tightly packed and traveled downtown zone of narrow, busy commercial streets. The experience here promises to diverge from what you'd expect nearer the historical center of Oaxaca, say those hostels around the chocolate and mole factories on and near the downtown street 20 de Noviembre.
